4.0 out of 5 stars All the Mercury hits, 17 Sep 2005

By	Laurence Upton (Wilts, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Golden Hits of Lesley Gore (Audio CD)

Whilst a comprehensive box set exists for Lesley Gore completists, this will probably suffice for the more casual listener if the price is right. Kicking off with the iconic anthem of teen girl angst, It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To) and its triumphal and equally unsophisticated sequel, the glorious Judy's Turn To Cry, it contains all of Lesley Gore's 12 Mercury label Top 100 hits from 1963 and 1966 together with three flip sides, two album tracks and one flop. It includes the powerful feminist statement You Don't Own Me, rather ahead of its time in 1963, although she took a backwards step the following year with the resignedly accepting sentiments of That's The Way Boys Are.
Lesley Gore benefited greatly from the production skills of Quincy Jones and Claus Ogerman's arrangements, though a standout track, which wasn't a single, What Am I Gonna Do With You, has a typically brilliant Jack Nitzsche arrangement.
As this album first came out on CD in 1987 (expanded from its vinyl original) it suffers slightly from mastering which foreshortens songs by a second or two to mask analogue hiss, although all are taken from original 2,3 and 4 track stereo master tapes, and has an ungenerous 43 minutes playing time by today's standards
